Jo O'Meara
Ease Your Pain

Smokin' Rebel/Sanctuary

WE SAY

To say Jo was the most talented member of S Club 7 doesn't really do her justice. She really is a top-notch pop singer who shone brightest on tracks like Never Had A Dream Come True (which is the most popular S Club track by far if Limewire is an accurate guide). Ease Your Pain is from Brian Rawling's Metrophonic camp, as is most of Jo's new material. It's a deliciously well- rounded song and she sings it beautifully. The first single from the album is What Hurts The Most which you can listen to at Jo's official site.
